Sometimes I forget about the “classics.” And because I was born in the 80s, my definition is probably different that most people's. I have a few that I can watch repeatedly and not get sick of them (WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, GONE WITH THE WIND, VAN WILDER, HEATHERS); random, I know. But, DAZED AND CONFUSED is inarguably a classic. Besides the fact that the movie has pretty much no plot and very minor character development, you can’t argue with its genius.
Any movie that made the phrase, “Wipe that face off your head, bitch,” famous is something that needs to be shared with generations of the future. Just sayin’
If it wasn’t a part of your teenage years, go get a sixer and give it another chance. It’s On Demand on HBO.
And get the soundtrack! And add the the phrase "Lick me, all of you!" to your normal vocabulary.

I completely agree and I own both the Dazed and Confused soundtracks. If I can remember correctly dear, we listened to them on our caravan up to Atlantic City back in 2003. In my opinion, listening to those might have been the highlight of our trip...lord knows the leopard themed hotel room at the Taj was not!
